Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
1. A computer network system for using data tags to track, manage, and update applications and tasks to provide Object-to-Object (OTO) services, comprising: one or more data tag servers in an OTO service platform configured to receive an initiation of a first application by a first initiator, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to issue a first application data tag that specifies at least one first task for fulfilling a first service in the first application, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to issue a first action data tag when the first application data tag is scanned by a first user terminal operated by a first participant, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to issue a first dynamically variable task data tag to track the first task in the first action, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to update the first dynamically variable task data tag to record completion of the first task in the first action when the first task in the first action is completed, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to receive an initiation of a second application by a second initiator and to issue a second application data tag that specifies at least one task for fulfilling a second service in the second application, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to initiate a third application when the first application data tag and the second application data tag are scanned by a fourth user terminal operated by a third participant, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to receive a request from the third participant to add a third service in the third application, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to issue a fourth action data tag that specifies tasks to fulfill the first service, the second service, and the third service in the third application.
A computer network system facilitates Object-to-Object (OTO) services by using data tags to track and manage applications and tasks. One or more servers within an OTO service platform handle this process. When a user initiates a first application, the server issues a first application data tag that specifies at least one task needed to complete a first service. When scanned by a participant's user terminal, the server issues a first action data tag. The system uses a dynamically variable task data tag to track progress of the first task. Upon completion, the dynamically variable task data tag is updated to reflect this. Furthermore, when the first application data tag and a second application data tag (initiated by a second user for a second service) are both scanned by a third participant's user terminal, a third application is started. The third participant can request to add a third service, prompting the server to issue a fourth action data tag that specifies tasks for fulfilling the first, second, and third services.
2. The computer network system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to receive information of a recipient of the first service from the first user terminal and to embed the information about the recipient in the first action data tag.
Building upon the data tag system described previously, the data tag server receives information about the recipient of the first service from the first user terminal and embeds this recipient information directly into the first action data tag. This allows the system to associate the specific service action with its intended recipient, streamlining the OTO service process by carrying recipient details within the data tag itself.
3. The computer network system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to embed the identification of the first participant in the first action data tag.
Expanding on the data tag system where recipient information is embedded into the action data tag, the identification of the first participant is also embedded into the first action data tag. This means that, in addition to knowing the service recipient, the system also tracks who initiated the action related to that service.
4. The computer network system of claim 1 , wherein the first application data tag stores functions or information about target servers for fulfilling the first service.
In the data tag system, the first application data tag stores functions or information about target servers responsible for fulfilling the first service. This allows the system to dynamically locate and utilize the correct resources needed for a particular service directly from the information encoded in the application data tag.
5. The computer network system of claim 4 , wherein the information about the target servers comprises application programming interface (API), parameters, and protocol associated with the target servers.
Expanding on the first application data tag's ability to store server information, the specific information about the target servers includes the Application Programming Interface (API), any necessary parameters, and the communication protocol required to interact with those servers. This detailed server specification allows for seamless integration and execution of the service tasks.
6. The computer network system of claim 1 , further comprising: a data base in communication with the one or more data tag servers and configured to store information about the first application including at least the first initiator, the first task, and the first service.
The data tag system incorporates a database connected to the data tag servers. This database stores information about the first application, including at least the first initiator (the user who started the application), the first task required, and the first service to be provided. This enables persistent storage and retrieval of application-related details.
7. The computer network system of claim 1 , further comprising: an OTO access-point router in communication with the one or more data tag servers and the first user terminal, configured to store information about the first application including at least the first initiator, the first task, and the first service.
The data tag system incorporates an OTO access-point router that communicates with the data tag servers and the first user terminal. This router stores information about the first application, including at least the first initiator, the first task, and the first service. This provides a local access point for retrieving application details, potentially improving performance and reducing server load.
8. The computer network system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to issue a second action data tag that specifies a second action when the first application data tag is scanned by a second user terminal operated by a second participant, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to issue a second dynamically variable task data tag to track at least one task in the second action, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to update the second dynamically variable task data tag to record completion of the at least one task in the second action when the at least one task in the second action is completed.
In the data tag system, if the first application data tag is scanned by a *second* user terminal operated by a *second* participant, the data tag server issues a second action data tag specifying a second action. A second dynamically variable task data tag is then issued to track at least one task associated with this second action. The server updates this second dynamically variable task data tag to record the completion of the task(s) in the second action once they are finished.
9. The computer network system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to receive an initiation of a second application by a second initiator and to issue a second application data tag that specifies at least one first task for fulfilling a second service in the second application, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to issue a third action data tag that specifies a third action when the first application data tag and the second application data tag are scanned by a third user terminal operated by a third participant, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to issue dynamically variable task data tags to track one or more tasks in the third action, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to update the third dynamically variable task data tags to record completion of the one or more tasks in the third action when the one or more tasks in the third action is completed.
The data tag server receives initiation of a second application by a second initiator and issues a second application data tag specifying at least one task for fulfilling a second service. When the first and second application data tags are scanned by a third user terminal operated by a third participant, a third action data tag that specifies a third action is issued. Dynamically variable task data tags are generated and used to track one or more tasks related to the third action. The server then updates these task data tags to record the completion status of the tasks.
10. The computer network system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to issue dynamically variable task data tags to track the tasks in a fourth action, wherein the one or more data tag servers are configured to update the dynamically variable task data tags to record completion of the tasks in the fourth action when the tasks in the fourth action are completed.
Expanding on the data tag system, dynamically variable task data tags track tasks in a fourth action. When the tasks are completed within this fourth action, the system updates the dynamically variable task data tags to reflect the completion status. This indicates that actions beyond the initial first, second and third actions will be tracked with dynamically variable task data tags.
11. The computer network system of claim 1 , wherein the first application data tag, the first action data tag, or the first dynamically variable task data is printed on a physical tag.
Within the data tag system, the first application data tag, the first action data tag, or the first dynamically variable task data can be printed on a physical tag. This enables the use of physical objects as carriers of the service and task information.
12. The computer network system of claim 1 , wherein the first application data tag, the first action data tag, or the first dynamically variable task data is displayed in an electronic device.
Within the data tag system, the first application data tag, the first action data tag, or the first dynamically variable task data is displayed on an electronic device. This allows for the use of smartphones, tablets, or other displays as the carrier of service and task information, removing the dependency on printed media.
13. The computer network system of claim 1 , wherein the first application data tag, the first action data tag, or the first dynamically variable task data comprise a one-dimensional code, a two-dimensional code, a two-dimensional barcode, a data matrix code, a QR code, or a three-dimensional code.
